Enabling HTTPS ?

[titus]

Hello

The plan is to migrate to Discourse and a lot of code was written to automate generation and rotation using Let's Encrypt, and no I'm not using certbot but written our own custom one. The UAT version was deployed on https://uat.canreef.com. You can see the cert expired on 20 Nov 2022. That's not the issue but the following.

My original plan was to have the following:
https://www.canreef.com/discussion for the discussion forums
https://www.canreef.com/<other stuff> for other stuff

And so I setup an NGINX reverse proxy to do this but there were some issues with Discuss supporting this. That was back in Oct and then I ran into a rabbit hole and then stopped.

I could have gone with the following:
https://www.canreef.com for discussion forum
https://other.canreef.com for other stuff

However doing it this way means we need different DNS alias entries for each incremental feature I want to add. It is not insurmountable as I setup our own DNS server with code as well but it's extra step and I really didn't like the idea of how the DNS look.

Given how far we have gotten I'd rather just finish the work proper.
